Club Closed: 2004

Mecca Bingo Ellesmere Port, Whitby Road Background And History

The club was a cinema prior to bingo, the Queen’s Cinema, which opened in 1913. A small cinema with seating for 650, it was initially an independent, but was taken over by Southam Morris’ S.M. Super Cinemas in the forties, and again by Essoldo in 1954. It began running bingo as well as films in 1968, and during that same year, film screenings ceased entirely. At some point Mecca Bingo took over, only to close down in early 2004. The premises are now a showroom for bathrooms.

At the moment we do not have details of the events that led up to, or any of the circumstances surrounding the closure of the Mecca Bingo Ellesmere Port. If you have any details that may assist us, and you would like to share them with our readers, we would love to hear from you. If you let us know what you know, we will put the details online with your name credited (if you wish, or we can credit the article as anonymous). You will be doing a service to the bingo community and posterity by helping us record details of all Britain's bingo clubs and halls. Thank you.
